  1. I'm guessing he restructured to free up some cap room for this season. Can't see any possible reason why we'd give him a raise when he's got two years left on his contract and is coming off a down year.

  2. Guys... lets start Professional Organized New Zany International League and pitch it to Dundon see if he'll invest. We'll call it the PONZI League for short, I'm sure Dundon has another $250 million kicking around....

    I wouldn't go that far. The US has a treasonous criminal running their country. I know we've got some dummies on right right calling Trudeau a traitor for his immigration policies, but that's just far right nonsense. The US government is basically a crime family right now. We've got some problems, but imo it doesn't compare to the level of craziness down there.

    It all started to go sideways yesterday with the whining about being attacked, blathering about Big Brother, posting a story from Bulgarian Breitbart, and claiming to be a moderate, rational voice in this thread.

    I think he's totally off the reservation posting all the obviously biased videos expecting them to be taken seriously. It's like bring in a clip from Fox News to prove someone's opinion.

  13. I had a dream last night that the Jets traded three players in a deal with the panthers thing is, I didn't recognize the names of the players next to the jets logo (it was probably the players we got from the panthers) but no player names next...actually come to think of it the panthers logo was nowhere to be found...it could have been a player to be named later deal or something

    But ultimately it comes down to the people, and the people are embracing more socialist beliefs. The Democrats learned a hard lesson last time ramming Clinton through and promptly losing to Trump. The winds are changing and if you can't see it then you are being willfully ignorant. Might not happen next election or the one after, but it's coming. Why do you think the Republicans across the US are so hell bent on gerrymandering everything and suppressing voters? They want less people voting, they want to rig the game in their favour because that is the only way they can win when the electorate is changing to be more diverse.

  18. My son played for Chaps at SFU. He used a version of his offense adapted for 4 down football. It was an extensive, difficult offense for him & the other qbs to learn. It wasn't that the offense is bad as it's not. It's totally based on creating mismatches on offense with the defense. The problem is the terminology isn't qb friendly as Chaps never was a qb so it is difficult from a qb perspective to learn. It's more receiver friendly than quarterback. The reads are different if you're a qb. I can only tell you it's quite complicated for a new qb to learn. Again, my son thought the offensive playbook was actually pretty decent but it comes at the qbs from a different perspective. It takes awhile to learn compared to other CFL offenses. Ricky Ray could probably pick it up easier than Franklin.

  19. Hard to picture Matt getting more $$$ than we already agreed to give him, and hard to picture the Bombers extending him at any significant cost when the club previously built an out-clause for 2020 into his contract... very intriguing. Want some deets.

  21. If the AAF was smart, they would let guys play in the CFL and double up when their season concludes. Yes there’s a risk of injuries, but it would also make the league more appealing. Kind of like how Robert Gordon and Micheal bishop would play in the arena league.

  22. Dave Raimey was simply an outstanding player. Great running back who had the ability to change directions & juke defenders out of their shorts. Nicknamed The Knife he was a great receiver out of the backfield. As well as a great KO returner. Top that off with the fact he could also play defensive back very well & he was one of the greatest to ever put on a Bomber jersey. By 1969, he had become tired of losing every year. Other than Raimey & Flanker Ken Nielsen there were no other threats on offense. He demanded a trade by going public with his beefs & was dealt to Toronto. Raimey had said the Bombers as an organization wasn't committed to winning which was a criticism directed at then Bomber GM Earl Lunsford. Those comments angered Lunsford. No player could criticize Earl publicly & get away with it. Even superstars like Raimey & Don Jonas weren't immune & both found that out as they were gone in a flash.

  25. A note for Bomber attendance, I am in the process of purchasing a home that is 8 hours closer to the peg. So I will be able to attend more games this season, as well as encourage more of my family to attend with me...... it may not pay for a top tier recievers salary....but it's a start ! I can't wait ! GO BOMBERS !

  26. October 22, 2011.....critical East Division showdown with Als that would essentially decide 1st in the East. Late in the game and needing a score, Jovon returned one to just past midfield to set up Buck and the offense with great field position. I'll never forget it...

    Terrified that she among others are talking about the good of the people rather than the good of the wealthy. Her proposals are popular, people are sick of the status quo, they tried trump and it was a disaster, the next move to shake up a broken system is for the people to take it back from the old white rich men.

    Might read this: attributed to K . Rove TACTICS FOR EFFECTIVE CONSERVATIVE BLOGGING Engage Demand an elaborate, time-consuming comparison / analysis between your position and theirs. Entangle Insist that the Liberal put their posts in their own words. That will consume the most time and effort for the Liberal poster. They will be unable to spread numerous points on numerous blogs if you have them occupied. Allowing a Liberal to post a web link is too quick and efficient for them. Tie them up. We are going for delay of game here. Demoralize Dismiss their narrative as rubbish immediately. Do not even read it. Once the Liberal goes through the trouble to research, gather, collate, compose and write their narrative your job is to discredit it. Make it obvious you tossed their labor-intensive narrative aside like garbage. This will have the effect of demoralizing the Liberal poster. It will make them unwilling to expend the effort again, and for us, that is a net win. Attack Attack the source. Any Liberal website or information source must be marginalized, trivialized and discounted. Let the blogosphere know that Truthout.org, thinkprogress.org, the nation and moveon.org are Liberal rubbish propaganda. Discredit Liberal sources of information whenever possible. Confuse Challenge the Liberal position with questions, always questions. The questions need not be relevant. The goal is to knock the Liberal poster off their game, and seize control of the narrative. Once you have control you can direct the narrative to where you want it to go, which is always away from letting the Liberal make their point. Conversely, do not respond to their leading questions. Don't rise to their bait. Contain Your job is to prevent the presentation and spread of Liberal viewpoints. Do anything you must do to prevent a Liberal poster from presenting a well-reasoned argument or starting a civil discussion. Don't allow a Liberal to present their dogma unchallenged EVER. Intimidate Taunt the Liberals. If you find yourself in a debate with a Liberal where you are losing a fact-based argument then call them a name to derail their diatribe. Remember your goal is to prevent a meaningful exchange of views and ideas which may portray Liberalism in a positive light. Your goal as a conservative blogger is to stop the spread and advance of the Liberal agenda. Play upon any identifiable idiosyncrasies, character flaws, physical traits, names, to their disadvantage. Monitor other posts for vulnerabilities you can exploit. Stay on the offensive with Liberal wimps. Don't let up. Insult their Movement Assign as many character and moral flaws to Liberals as you can. You must portray Liberals as weak, vacillating, indecisive, amoral, baby killers, unpatriotic, effete snobs, elitists, Leftists, Commies, sense of entitlement, promiscuous, union lovers, tax raisers, Welfare Queens, Socialists, lazy, sex-obsessed, druggies, Jesus haters, moochers, troop hater,.etc. Always use these negative epithets when referring to, or describing Liberals / democrats. Deceive Identify yourself as a moderate, centrist or independent. It will also cause Liberals to lower their guard a bit, which gives you an effective opening. This may also have the effect of aligning conservative viewpoints with the real moderates we are attempting to reach. It may serve to influence some moderates over to the Republican side. Patriotism Always claim the high ground of pro-military, low taxes, strong defense, morality and religion. We own those virtues. Learn how to exploit them when debating Demean Always refer to the other side as Liberals, Lefty Liberals, Libbies. Never assign them the status of a bona-fide political party. Hang Liberalism around their neck like a burning tire. Make Liberalism appear as a moral turpitude or a character flaw. They are NEVER, NEVER to be referred to as the Democratic Party. At best it is the democrat party. Never assign them respect. Opportunity Be alert for ways to insert our catch phrases into your narrative. You will receive your daily list of talking points and topics that we want you to cover. Consistent, persistent repetition and inculcation will drive our talking points home and so will neuro-linguistic programming. Stick with it and our talking points will become truth. If they debunk your talking point, ignore it, and move on as if you didn't hear it.

    The BEER thread

    Just an update... CBM is truly the best beer store in town. I was there the week before last and got carried away. The selection is overwhelming. Anyway, I've been here before but I'm in Yellowknife this week for work. I know it's way, way off the beaten path for most but if you're ever up here, NWT Brewing Co. is a must visit for any beer lover. Located on the edge of Old Town (roughly a ten-minute walk from downtown), it consists of the brewery and a brewpub called The Woodyard (excellent pub grub in a very rustic, location-specific setting). Their core brews consist of four offerings (a cream ale, a pale ale, a brown ale, and an IPA). They also offer several more on a rotational basis (12 taps in total in the taproom). I had a nitro porter and a seasonal IPA the other night and both were quite good. Yesterday, I had a raspberry wit which was surprisingly tasty and an ESB with Earl Grey infused in it which was absolutely delicious. There's also a growler bar and a merch counter. I really can't say enough about this place.

    I'm with you guys. Had a pollster call me about federal politics a few weeks ago, and couldn't tell them I favoured any of the main parties. Local candidates were equally bad in my riding. Tend to lean conservative fiscally, but I'll be damned if I'm going to vote for Jenny Motkaluk. Told them I was most likely to vote Green at this point, just for sharts and giggles.
